The USAC/CRA AMSOIL Sprint Car Championship takes a week off as teams prepare for an October 15 race at Perris (Calif.) Auto Speedway.

Damion Gardner, in search of a fifth series crown, has a 107-point lead over Richard Vander Weerd in the latest standings. Gardner finished sixth and fourth while Vander Weerd recorded finishes of seventh and third in a pair of races last weekend.

In his 70th career series start, Jake Swanson of Anaheim, Calif. was finally able to grab his first USAC/CRA AMSOIL Sprint Car triumph Friday night in the opening night of the 16th ”Hall of Fame” program at Canyon Speedway Park in Peoria, Ariz.

Driving the Tom & Laurie Sertich-owned Huntington Beach Glass and Mirror/Clackamas Rigging & Transfer Chassis Triple X/RC Performance machine, he led the final seven laps after taking the lead on lap 24. Mike Spencer was second ahead of Cody Williams, Charles Davis Jr. and R.J. Johnson.
